"HOLA, COSTA RICA"

The souvenir museum Verdes y Colores located in Alajuela, Costa Rica, contacted me to develop a series of illustrations about costarican folklore in a different, creative way.

I made four illustrations based on Costarican masquerades, shaved ice carts "copos", hummingbirds, and a free topic focused on happiness and fruit.

Personally, I love the idea of having the influences of my beloved country present in my work as an artist / designer. This was a huge oportunity I wasn't going to miss.

The illustrations are a colletion of t - shirts called "Hola, Costa Rica". The name humanizes the country, greeting the audience and presenting, with a different face, some of its most popular traditions.

Go visit Verdes y Colores on the way to Poás volcano and check out their great offer and what they're doing for Costa Rica:
